Whistleblower says senior DOJ official expressed willingness to ignore court orders
- A whistleblower report alleges Senior DOJ Official Emil Bove expressed willingness to disregard court orders in a meeting, which included plans for deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, according to former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni's claims submitted to Congress and published by The New York Times.
- Reuveni asserts that during this March meeting, Bove explicitly stated that the DOJ might have to consider telling the courts 'fuck you' to expedite deportation flights to El Salvador.
- Reuveni claims he was fired after resisting pressure to misrepresent facts in court relating to the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had a protective court order against removal.
- Senator Dick Durbin highlighted that the allegations indicate a broader trend by the Trump administration to undermine the Justice Department's commitment to the rule of law.
